Lent course
We can talk BUT how good are you at listening? Come and find out at

Marys considering listening. We will think about listening
to ourselves (15th March) and finally listening to the world
on 22nd March.These gatherings are open to everyone and light refreshments
will be served on each occasion. The afternoon session will be timed
to finish in time to allow anyone fetching children from school to do
so, returning for refreshments if they wish.

Reordering
Programme Phase 2 - list of possible items for sponsorship
We are very grateful for generous donations towards the costs of both
phase 1 and phase 2 of our church re-ordering. Phase 2 work is moving
forward. This work includes the cleaning and moving of the Victorian
font back to its traditional position near the way in to
the church, and the transformation of the 1920s baptistry into a space
for peace and prayer. Just as in the past people have wished to sponsor,
for example, stained-glass windows for the blessing of future generations,
so some might now wish to donate some tangible item or aspect of the
remaining work. This may for example be in memory of someone who was
near and dear to them and has died. Others might simply wish to leave
a tangible legacy for future generations in the fabric of
the church.
If you have a desire to sponsor any of the below items then have a word
with Roy Jarvis 762064 or Marilyn Fletcher 764177 (Treasurer). Sometime
in the coming year, when the Bishops diary is free, we will invite
him to come to St Marys to preside at Parish Communion (perhaps
including Baptism) to celebrate the completion of phases 1 and 2. Thank
you to all who have sponsored items for the project.
1. Decorative tiles for font surround. 8 tiles required £625 each
- All 8 tiles have been sponsored now!
2. Background tiling for font surround. 6sq m required £30-£45
per sq m sponsored
3. New shades for baptistry light fitting £200 sponsored
4. Uplighter units. 4 required £30 sponsored
